Under the pact, the New Jersey-based firm will build a platform for FCL to simplify, automate and secure business processes, speed up collaboration and maximise synergies across all lines of business, the companies said in a joint statement.

The platform will enable FCL to optimise its supply chain and improve business throughput, it added.

"It will also help FCL harness digital technologies, including mobile and data analytics, for real-time performance and operational insights to accelerate decision-making, innovation and time-to-market," the statement said.

FCL CEO, Manufacturing and Supply Chain, Saurabh Lal said: "This initiative is a key to our focus on improving operational efficiencies and business agility to align with the changing needs of todays digitally empowered customers."
